Tell me your happy endings

[Reow]

I'm struggling to stay positive here. My gorgeous 4 year old ginger boy is missing.

We live in a village, fairly rural, with acres and acres of fields behind us and the village in the other direction. He rarely goes out of earshot and has never missed meals before. He is neutered and chipped, but no collar - we tried and tried but he kept ripping them off.

My partner is very optimistic, saying he is probably on a nice hunting trip or eating someone's ham on their sofa. But he's never been gone for long and he is not that friendly with humans, so I doubt he would go in someone's house.

I am less optimistic. I picture him in a ditch hit by a car, or trapped in a shed or garage.

I have put out leaflets and posters and asked the vet to let us know if he gets handed in but....i'm struggling to stay positive.

What are your stories of cats returning home after being missing? How long were they gone and how did you find them?

So glad he's home safe and sound, eventually

Lovely story ! X

I'm so glad you got him back my cat went missing for more than a month some years ago now, and I laughed at your description of demanding access to sheds! I was just the same. After a month people starting telling me it was time to move on in a gentle and slightly despairing way. I must have seemed insane. But it was all worth it when he came home. Enjoy your cuddles tonight.

Wow. Great news. Poor boy. Bet he is glad to be home.
